| Abstract | Indium is increasingly being used as a key material in the solar cell industry and in the TFT LCD industry. The demand for Indium was 1000 metric tons in 2007 for the solar industry with TFT LCD consuming another 500 tons. Given the development of both industries, the demand has been projected to reach ≫2500 tons by 2011. With the accelerating growth in solar, and the demand from consumer applications the question of availability is relevant and there are indications of impending shortages. According to the most recent assessment from the USGS (U.S Geological Survey), the world wide Indium supply could deplete in 10 years. The implications would be significant for all applications and in particular for the solar sector where cost reduction is critical. To prevent this shortage we must adopt ways to recycle electronic components containing Indium. These recycling efforts are only in their infancy and are pursued outside of the US. However, with the natural supply and with a deliberate effort to expand recycling, there should be adequate supply of cost-effective Indium to meet the anticipated needs. Recycling is necessary for two reasons: to provide a consistent flow and to help stabilize prices with the cycles of market demand and production capacity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
